thumbnail view of attachment in lists

I have a list that we would like to attach images to each item in the list. Wecan attach an item to a list. Is there a way to create a view of that listwhere the attachment shows a thumbnail instead of an icon? (If someone knowsanother way around this, I am interested.) I would really like to avoid usinglinks to the images if at all possible.

I thought about this on the way home and realized I should have been morespecific. Ideally this would be visible in the DispForm.aspx page of a list. This is for a contact list, but the contacts do not all work at our companywhich is why we don't want to use profile images. I hope this helps clarifythings a little.

I had thought of that, but unfortunately that won't work as not all of ourcontacts have photos yet. Basically what I am looking for is a way to attach aphoto to a contact without it having to be a link. The 3 girls who will beupdating contact information aren't very tech savvy. I'm trying to make it aseasy as possible for them. If it can't be done it can't be done. ButSharePoint gets me a drink every morning, I don't see why I wouldn't be able todo this.

I did find another option, but I'm not sure how to edit the webpart to make ituseful for us. There is a field called "Page Icon" that seems that it wouldwork perfectly for what we need. The downside is that it can only select imagesfrom document libraries already in SharePoint. (I can use this and make itwork.) I would really like the ability to be able to select from a folder on alocal machine or a network shared drive in addition to document libraries on thesite. If this isn't possible I will work with what I have.
